Virginia Espino earned her Ph.D. in history at Arizona State University. She currently works as an oral historian at the University of California at Los Angeles Center for Oral History Research, where she is responsible for coordinating projects that document the Southern California Latina/o community. She is responsible for launching two oral history series that explore the Long Civil Rights Movement in Los Angeles, namely, the "Mexican American Civil Rights Pioneers: Historical Roots of an Activist Generation" and "La Batalla Está Aquí": The Chicano Movement in Los Angeles". Her research on the history of coercive sterilization at the Los Angeles-USC Medical Center provided the impetus for the documentary, No Más Bebés, for which she is a producer and lead historian. Espino has conducted extensive primary research and interviews with a number of the principals in the case and has published her research in Las Obreras: Chicana Politics of Work and Family, edited by Vicki L. Ruiz, and Latinas in the United States: A Historical Encyclopedia.
